Hello,

Please find attached two new ports:

- net/monero 0.18.5.4
- net/monero-lws 1.0.4

Upstream:
https://github.com/monero-project/monero
https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws

Monero provides the blockchain daemon, CLI wallet, wallet RPC server
and related utilities. Monero LWS provides a lightweight wallet
backend using view keys without requiring clients to scan the entire
blockchain.

Both ports include OpenBSD compatibility patches for LMDB, CMake,
Protobuf, HIDAPI, Boost and system libraries.

The packages also provide two rc.d services:

- monerod, running as _monerod.
- monero_lws, sharing the same system account.

The attached infrastructure/db/user.list patch reserves the _monerod
account. The net/monero package creates the user and group, with
/sbin/nologin as the shell. No additional user is needed for LWS.

The services use the following configuration and data directories:

     /etc/monero/          /var/monero/
     /etc/monero-lws/      /var/monero-lws/

Configuration files are installed under share/examples and handled
through @sample. Both services also have separate log directories
under /var/log.

The monerod service includes a login class with an open file limit
of 4096. LWS connects to the Monero daemon through ZMQ RPC and
listens on 127.0.0.1:8443 by default.

The LWS port builds against Monero 0.18.5.4 and declares the matching
net/monero package as a runtime dependency. Its Monero-specific
patches are kept under files/monero.

I've also attached the corresponding net/Makefile and
infrastructure/db/user.list changes.

I would appreciate review and testing, particularly of the shared
system account, rc.d integration and OpenBSD compatibility patches.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
David.

Hello,

Please find attached updated ports for Monero and Monero LWS.

I believe I have found another major cause of Monero's poor
performance on OpenBSD, besides LMDB: the assembler.

OpenBSD previously included an outdated version of GNU Assembler
in the base system. It now appears to have been removed in favor


I have modified both ports to use GNU Assembler from ports at
build time for the RandomX assembly code.

Together with the LMDB changes, I believe all the potential causes
of poor performance I have identified have now been addressed at
the patch level.

I think both ports are ready for import.

Thanks,
David.

of LLVM. However, LLVM on OpenBSD does not include llvm-mc, while upstream builds with the GNU toolchain (GCC and binutils).
